Pat Conroy should be the Patron Fucking Saint (I don't think he'd accept the title without the "Fucking" part) of Public School Kids in the South. I love him.

He was the narrator of a documentary called "Corridor of Shame" which was about kids in the poorest parts of South Carolina (along I-95) who have to go to school in classrooms that don't have heat, that are condemned, that have bat droppings falling through the ceiling while they're trying to learn. It is amazing. It is also about my elementary and high schools.

Fascists!!!!!!!!Oh Country, I am so disturbed by this. My book-burning, bible-thumping aunt has already been on the Harry Potter crusade started by her church, an electric guitar picking, fold out chairs, metal building in St. Florain. I did shove, Wizard of Oz, Lion, Witch & The Wardrobe, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, etc. up her ass for all the good it did. Then I called her Hitler and walked away.
